Description
We present a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson optimized
in the decay channel $H\rightarrow W^+W^-$, where both W bosons decay
leptonically. The final state considered contains dileptons
$(ee,\mu\mu,e\mu)$ and large missing transverse energy from the
neutrinos. A multivariate analysis is used to supress the
background. No signifiant excess above the SM background has been
observed and limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times
the SM branching ratio for $m_{H}=115-200$~GeV are computed. Recent
improvements in this search channel will be presented.
